pred gave me some good advice...and it actually is the most cost effective...
Keep the MS3, since I like the power (driveability should improve with more tuning) and add 4 degrees of timing....to up the torque, bring the power band down a bit, and lose a lil top ebnd (nothing a lil shot can't replace )
Too bad I have NO knowledge of degreeing cams

Just a jab at you for giving kudos to Pred when I suggested that to you in multiple threads (I realize he may have suggested it as well in a PM to you). I did suggest that you run it by him or Pat though to see how advancing it 4-6 degrees would affect your valve events. I actually tried to call TSP yesterday to find out how likely it was that your cam was ground with some advance already in it and too see if they knew how much, but they were closed for lunch. Just playing with the numbers using Pianoprodigy's DCR calculator, it looks like your DCR is around 7.78 as is, if this cam has no advance ground in it and would increase to like 8.23 or so just by advancing it 6 degrees giving you an ICL of 107 deg. Of course if you went with 4 deg advance, .040 gaskets, .030 mill and flycut, your MS3 with an ICL of 109 would give you about 8.77 DCR. Again this is all based on the numbers in the calculator and is just an estimate.

i got nothing but love for ya man lol...
MY DCR BLOWS, you are not the first to tell me that, I think it needs to be changed...I need to get it up to 8.5....
I think I may try a cam swap first since it is the easiest...
I wish I knew how to work that Piano Prodigy calc....but I dont
